“Today, Canadians of Asian heritage will gather with family, friends and their communities to celebrate the start of a bright and promising new year.
“Whether it’s known as Chinese New Year, Tết to Vietnamese Canadians, or Seollal to Korean Canadians, the Lunar New Year is a time of celebration and looking hopefully to the future.
“Each year is dedicated to a specific animal, and this year we enter the Year of the Sheep, also referred to as the Year of the Goat or Ram.
